In theory it could. But it no doubt would be seen as moving bank to the past. Just sayin.

I really think that few would notice, or for that matter, care, one way or the other.

In this case, you;re probably right. But in general my observations have been that anything put into the OF that bears any resemblance to pre-65 liturgy would meet heavy opposition. It seems that it’s a whole lot easier just saying the EF, not that it’s guaranteed or anything, but just easier.

Well, not wishing to hijack a thread having taken it off-topic somewhat, Masses are needed for many reasons, so whether OF or EF, whatever we rite we choose to attend, for whatever specific feast day, let’s make these holy sacrifices with love, devotion and dedication.

Yes it does, and the OF has retained this same Introit for the First Sunday of Advent.

Except they don’t call it the “Drop Down” Mass.
But it’s good there remains some continuity.

Yes it does.
Our choir will be singing the Rorate introit at the OF 5 pm Mass for the 4th Sunday of Advent at the cathedral in Sherbrooke, Quebec, along with the other Propers and Ordinary of that day.
The Graduale Romanum of 1974 has all of the Mass proper and ordinary chants for the Ordinary Form and Rorate is the introit for that day. The OF, just like the EF, when celebrated in Gregorian chant, has an introit, a gradual, an alleluia + verse, and offertory and communion antiphons. Plus the same Kyriale, Credos etc., as the EF. This is done in the OF every day at the Benedictine abbey I am associated with, and it is done in the OF monthly by our choir. All licit post-Vatican II, and all from the official approved texts and music (Graduale Romanum).
Now finding a place that sings the Gregorian introit in the OF can be tricky. But they do exist, alas mostly in monasteries, and I’ve been to monasteries in Canada, France, the UK and Italy where this is done daily.

Awesome:thumbsup:We were Blessed by our Archbishop on October 1st this year when he gave to us our own church to celebrate the traditional Latin Mass. The Fraternity of St. Peter sent Fr. Michael Stinson to us to celebrate Masses every day of the week.
So here we are in Tacoma, Washington with this beautiful old “Slovak” church, St. Joseph’s. Our pastor, Fr. Stinson got together with the two Seattle FSSP priests and they got permission to celebrate a Solemn High Rorate Mass at 0630 am on the morning of December 12th.
Looks like the North American Martyr’s parish will be coming down to join us for this very wonderful celebration. The N.A.M. choir will sing the Mass and the two FSSP priests from Seattle will serve as Deacon and Subdeacon.
We’ve been told that the Seattle/Tacoma men’s club will serve breakfast after Mass in the hall.
Mat God’s abundant Blessings fow free in you’re midst

We had our *Rorate * Mass at 7AM this morning. The church was in complete darkness, with only a light in the very back, where the choir is. The benediction candelabra were on the altar, along with the six High Mass candles. It was beautiful, and the church gradually became lighter as sunrise occurred. Afterward we had a pot-luck breakfast in the parish hall–I strongly recommend that as a fine conclusion to the morning’s celebration.

What a blessing. We had our first as well. It is quite beautiful.
Here are some pictures of an FSSP Rorate Mass in Scranton, Pennsylvania for those who have never seen it.
